SS Hot Rolled Coil & Plates

Hot rolling primarily involves deforming the slab / bloom at high temperature & roll pressure - The rolling temperatures vary from 900˚C to 1200°C, which is above the recrystallization temperature for most stainless steels.
The material runs through a series of roll with predetermined roll gaps, pressures, and speeds to achieve its finished dimensions while being at high temperatures.
High finishing temperature ensures the production of a uniform rolled product, increases the ability of the material to undergo thickness reductions up to 98%, and at the same time, prevents the possibility of unwanted strain hardening. After hot rolling, the long and thin sheets are spun into coils and left to cool, these are called Hot Rolled coils.

Making of HR coils & Plates

It involves heating to above recrystallization temperature. The non-uniform initial cast grain structure of metal consists of large dendritic grains. They are usually brittle with weak grain boundaries and may contain defects such as shrinkage cavities, porosity caused by gases, and foreign materials such as metallic oxides. Reheating breaks the dendritic grain structures obtained during casting, giving rise to the formation of new uniform recrystallized grain structures.

The reduction is given up to approximately the required coil thickness from the initial stainless steel slab and stainless steel bloom thickness using roughing and finishing mill. The finishing mill can be either Steckel (reversible) or a Tandem (continuous) mill.

In some grades, rapid cooling of hot rolled coils is done using water in order to bring down the temperature below 500°C.

It is done in order to make the hot rolled sheet convenient for further processing and transportation.
